The Center for Sharing Public Health Services has developed a guidebook to help local and county governments learn how they might share public health services regionally for more effective and efficient operations. The guide is based on a national public health learning community that includes rural public health organizations.

The Grant Policies and Procedures Guide has been updated on the website of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). To see what sections are affected in the new edition, refer to the version control page within the guide. The guide is meant as a tool for grant applicants and grant recipients. It is important to remember that agency policy is set through the official rulemaking process, as required by state law. CPRIT’s administrative rules can be found in Chapters 701-703 of the Texas Administrative Code. If there are conflicting provisions, CPRIT’s administrative rules, statute, and contract supersede the guide.

Nine out of ten affluent American households continued to give to charity in 2020, a report from Bank of America and the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy finds. Based on a survey of more than sixteen hundred households with a net worth of at least $1 million (excluding the value of their primary home) and/or annual household income of at least $200,000, the 2021 Bank of America Study of Philanthropy: Charitable Giving by Affluent Households found that 88 percent of respondents reported maintaining or increasing their giving in 2020, and that 47 percent made a donation or financially supported an individual or business in direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total charitable giving increased 5.2 percent on a year-over-year basis in 2020, even as the typical nonprofit saw a drop in fundraising revenue, a report from the GivingTuesday Data Commons finds. Based on aggregated data from seventy-four giving platforms and issue- and action-specific apps and tools, the report, Giving in Unprecedented Times: A Lookback at 2020 U.S. Giving Data & Trends found that the growth in overall revenue was driven in part by small donors (between $101 and $500 in total 2020 giving) and "supersize" donors (at least $50,001 in giving), who gave 5.8 percent and 11 percent more, respectively, than they did in 2019.

A report from the Equitable Evaluation Initiative (EEI) and Grantmakers for Effective Organizations highlights how foundations are working to integrate an equity lens into their evaluation practices. Based on discussions with staff at six EEI partner foundations, the report, Shifting the Evaluation Paradigm: The Equitable Evaluation Framework™, found that while foundations have begun to more intentionally integrate equity into their program, governance, operational, and investment decisions, most have not done so with regard to their evaluation practices. To access the report, go to https://www.geofunders.org/resources/shifting-the-evaluation-paradigm-the-equitable-evaluation-framework-1332.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: June 21, 2021 by 5 p.m. CST.
$ AVAILABLE: Projects eligible for funding under this Request for Proposals (RFP) fall into the following categories:
• Planning grants, for organizations exploring launch of new initiatives, projects, or programs. Planning grants will be one-time funding, for a six- month period. Receipt of a planning grant does not guarantee additional
implementation funding. Maximum award per applicant is $25,000.
• Implementation grants, for the launch of new or expansion of existing initiatives, projects, or programs. Funding will be for 12 months. Maximum annual award per applicant is $150,000. Total funding for planning and implementation grants awarded in 2021 is approximately $1 million.
Additional funding will be made available in 2022 for implementation of competitive workplans originating from planning grants, and for implementation grant renewals. 
ELIGIBILITY: Organizations applying for either planning or implementation grants must meet the following eligibility criteria:
• Be a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization or a public entity (e.g. a municipality, health department, or university/school).
• Unincorporated organizations submitting a proposal must identify a 501(c)(3) organization that has agreed to function as its fiscal sponsor.
• Provide services to people living in at least one of the following Central Texas counties: Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, or Williamson. Note: applicants may have business or headquarter offices located outside of Central Texas.
• Statewide and national organizations able to demonstrate meaningful partnerships with local organizations and communities. The work must clearly benefit Central Texas residents.
• Demonstrate strong fiscal management, which at a minimum requires: program operations for at least three years; two consecutive years of a clean audit; and the ability to access working capital or line of credit that could cover at least two months of organizational expenses.
• Organizations with existing St. David’s Foundation funding may apply.
Collaborations among multiple organizations are eligible to apply for either planning or implementation grants. Each organization must serve as the lead entity for their own, independent but complementary application that references the collaborative aspects of the work.

PURPOSE: St. David’s Foundation is pleased to announce the availability of funds to address timely and effective support for women in Central Texas most likely to be disproportionately impacted by poor perinatal outcomes. Healthy pregnancy outcomes require a supportive environment prior to, during, and after the pregnancy itself. This RFP seeks to support the establishment of a Perinatal Safe Zone in Central Texas by building on the foundation’s existing investments in the Healthy Women and Girls strategic area. The population of focus for this RFP is women of reproductive age who are low-income and/or women of color due to their increased risk for lack of access to perinatal services and resulting birth inequities. The foundation acknowledges self-determination as an important way to achieve health equity. To that end, the RFP will prioritize efforts designed by and led by the population most impacted by birth inequities.
